Fixes

When a chart had a drilldown to a chart or dashboard, and the drilldown was removed, and then the chart was exported, it would cause errors when the .idbar file was imported into another repository. This has been corrected.

When a data column that was a String column in the database had an aggregate function applied to it in the chart data columns screen (making the actual data in the column numeric) and the axis it was mapped to was selected as the sort-on axis, it would throw an error whenever you tried to run a report that included that chart. This has been corrected.

In embedded viewer mode, the “content:filename.jpg” URL style that was used when a user selected an image file from the dropdown list for the dashboard background image did not work properly. This has been corrected.

When the app server was running on a non-Sun Microsystems JVM (always the case for WebSphere, usually the case on an IBM server) an error would be thrown when the license file was read, because the specified algorithm provider for verifying the digital signature was not found. As a workaround for this, we had to issue non-digitally signed licenses to customers that ran on WebSphere or an IBM server. This has been fixed, and the digital signatures will be verified on all platforms, so it should no longer be necessary to issue a non-digitally signed license to anyone running version 7.0d or later. This has been corrected.

Fixed an obscure bug that caused people who had run a pre-6.0 version and had set their skin set to grey to get an error when they tried to log into a post 6.0 version. This has been corrected.

When a user selected 45 or 44 as the chart background transparency value an closed the chart properties dialog, the chart value would be one less (44 or 43) when the dialog was reopened. This has been corrected.

SQL Server data sources that use the JDTS driver may now have spaces in the database name. This has been corrected.

In some cases, an invalid macro error message would show “{0}” where the invalid macro was supposed to be. This has been corrected.

When a chart had a large number of Y axes (like 39 or more) the buttons would get pushed off the side of the data board. This has been corrected.

Enhancements

The Datetime input box now has a clock icon next to it that can be used to choose a time component for the date. The time chooser display format can be set in the System Settings of the Admin app.

The validation code that would not permit someone configuring a data source to enter a port number above 49151 has been changed. Now any value up to 65535 will be allowed.

The import process was optimized so that large .idbar files do not take so long to be imported.
